abstract: 'Objective: Health policy in the UK is committed to tackling inequalities
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in cancer screening participation. We examined whether socioeconomic
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inequalities in breast and cervical cancer screening participation in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
England have reduced over five years.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Methods: Cross-sectional analyses compared cervical and breast screening
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
coverage between 2007/8 and 2012/13 in Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
England in relation to area-level income deprivation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Results: At the start and the end of this five year period, there were
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
socioeconomic inequalities in screening coverage for breast and cervical
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
screening. Inequalities were highest for breast screening. Over time,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the coverage gap between the highest and lowest quintiles of income
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
deprivation significantly reduced for breast screening (from 12.3 to 8.3
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
percentage points), but not for cervical screening (5.3 to 4.9
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
percentage points).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Conclusions: Efforts to reduce screening inequalities appear to have
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
resulted in a significant improvement in equitable delivery of breast
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
screening, although not of cervical screening. More work is needed to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
understand the differences, and see whether broader lessons can be
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
learned from the reduction of inequalities in breast screening
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

participation.'
